About the Game

The creators of mystery games Detective Butler, Methods, SoulSet, and Game of Fourtune have teamed up to create a short and spooky Halloween mystery for you to solve!

Reaplaced is a linear murder mystery visual novel with only one ending. There are choices, but they only affect the order in which you experience the story -- nothing else.

Your goal is to solve the mystery before the truth is revealed at the end of the game. As you play, clues will be added to your inventory to help you piece together the answer yourself.

• 25,000 words (2-3 hours of gameplay)
  
• A locked-room murder mystery to challenge your wits
  
• A CLUES system to help you uncover the truth
  
• Immersive sprite animations, backgrounds, and sound effects
  
• Accessibility options to customize your experience
  
• Award-winning original soundtrack

Grea Perrim is a reaper of souls, and it's her duty to bring the deceased to the other side. But in the world of reapers, death isn't any kind of equalizer. The value of a soul is directly tied to the peculiarity of its death.

Grea's supernatural senses bring her to a Halloween house party with three costumed guests. She soon finds the most valuable kind of soul: the victim of a locked-room murder.

To reap the soul, Grea must unravel the identity of its killer and explain its death in full.

Is this the work of a human? A witch? Or something else entirely...?
